Get your bikini body now



There's only a few weeks to go before your chance to get into the next Fitbitch Boot Camp starting June 28th - July 22nd. We are now selling out reflecting the fact that we get results both in weight loss and huge fitness improvement.
From mum of three with asthma to 5k runner, and from a business executive who can't run longer than five mins to training for a 10mile run, these are just a few of our latest successes. Then there's the weight losses which average at 7lb in four weeks but can be as much as a stone. Previous graduates have gone on to lose up to three stone whilst continuing with the camp and they've kept it off.
Plus any member of Fitbitch Boot Camp gets exclusive offers and deals - in the last two months graduates have enjoyed free meals at exclusive restaurant openings plus a free Pamper session including manicures and facials. Being a Fitbitch is a lifestyle not just a fitness camp.
Places are limited to 14 in the 7am camp which is the Full Fitbitch experience of 16 sessions. Plus in the 6am there will be 14 spaces of 16 sessions plus a further 6 spaces available for those who wish to drop in on an 8 or 12 session basis.
We will also be launching an evening camp in July, plus two week intensives Monday-Friday so keep your eyes peeled or become a fan on Facebook for the latest news.
Returning graduates enjoy a 10% discount on the Full Fitbitch Experience if booked and paid in full by this Friday June 4th and a 5% discount on 12 or 8 sessions.

Paris Training Plans




For those thinking of - or who have entered the www.parisversailles.com run, here are the training programmes. Choose the one you think is most suited to you. Don't be tempted to overstretch yourself as this will just lead to injury. Slowly build up and no matter what position you are starting from you CAN do this.
And don't panic if you don't do EVERY single run - ideally you should but we have all followed training plans where a few runs have slipped off the radar! And remember Virgin Runners, 5k is 3miles which you have all done so the entry level training programme is doable. Start on Monday 31st and it will get you there by September 26th!
General notes - these have been set so you can do your long run at the weekend. choose which day though if you are doing boot camp on Monday! H stands for hills, E- easy, T-tempo.
If you feel none of these plans are for you, you can devise one with the use of SmartCoach at www.runnersworld.co.uk by entering your mileage and current running times.

Fitbitch Graduation April-May Camp



After four weeks of uninterrupted sunshine and huge improvements in fitness and physiques, the class of April-May 2010 graduated at www.parkrun.com at Hove Park. Fitbitches of the camp this month were Amy Littlehailes who showed astounding improvement plus sprinting prowess that came out of nowhere! She ran her first 5k ever, with three babies in two and a buggy! She shares the honour of Fitbitch of the camp with Kate Gibson, Sonia Brown and Amelia Hart all who have gone from strength to strength and constantly challenged themselves outside of camp too. Although that is not to mention the huge gains - er and losses in pounds - of all the Fitbitche this camp! Brilliant work from all!
